Can you say “Bottomfeeder”

Sheen — who is battling his umpteenth trip to rehab and criminal charges for allegedly threatening wife Brooke Mueller with a knife on Christmas Day — is seriously considering ditching his role as hedonistic bachelor/ writer Charlie Harper on the Jon Cryer-assisted comedy.
